The tornado before Hugo's to cause damage happened in April 2013 in Holyoke. That twister popped up around 8:30 p.m., destroyed a pole barn, flipped over some planes and damaged several structures.

Prior to that, the big twister in Limon from 1990 happened around 8 p.m., almost 24 years ago to this day. No one was killed, but a good chunk of downtown Limon was leveled.

The Windsor Tornado from 2008 was also rare because it happened right before noon. That tornado was a mile wide and packed a huge punch, killing one person and carving out a decent chunk of Weld County.

The Holly tornado from 2007 happened at 8:11 p.m. and also killed one person.
